This hands on guide takes maths principles from the chalkboard to the wood shop, using real-life shop situations to make the maths easy and practical.'
My affection for woodworking began as a hobby in the mid-seventies. Eventually, the affection evolved into a love-affair, and I began building furniture full-time in northwestern Connecticut.
When Jim Mc Quillan, founder of The Woodworker's Journal magazine, needed someone to build furniture and write about how to make it, I happily went onboard as an editor. Some fifteen years later, when the magazine was sold an moved to Illinois, I joined the editorial staff of Shopnotes magazine in Des Moines, Iowa.
From July of 2000 until I retired in June of 2009, I worked as an associate editor for Fine Woodworking magazine. Now that I'm retired, I get to enjoy my workshop most every day.
